| Summary: | <p>The objective of this research is to identify the socioeconomic status of Malaysian Indian</p><p>plantation community, to analyze their attitude and to study the correlation between these</p><p>two variables as portrayed in Malaysian Tamil novels. The qualitative research method</p><p>was used and data collection was carried out using description and analysis. The Theory of</p><p>Reasoned Action was used to analyze the attitude and behavior according to four elements</p><p>which are intention, belief, reflection and behavior. Six Malaysian Tamil novels with the</p><p>background of Malaysian Indian plantation community were used for this study. Twentynine</p><p>characters from the selected novels were used to identify their socio-economic status;</p><p>to analyze their attitude and to study the correlation between these two variables. The</p><p>findings show that there are twelve characters portray high socioeconomic status with</p><p>positive attitude while the other seventeen portray low socioeconomic with negative</p><p>attitude. The findings also reveal that there is a correlation between their socioeconomic</p><p>status and their attitude. The conclusion of this research is, the socioeconomic status of the</p><p>Malaysian Indian plantation community is determined by their attitude. The research</p><p>implies that the Malaysian Indian plantation community has to change their attitude into</p><p>positive in order to enjoy high socioeconomic status like others.</p> |
